Musings on science, the Bible, and fantastic literature (and sometimes basketball and other stuff).
God speaks to us through the Bible and the findings of science, and we should listen to both types of revelation.
The title is from Psalm 84:11.
The Wikipedia is usually a pretty good reference. I mostly use the World English Bible (WEB), because it is public domain. I am grateful.

Sunspots 781
Things I have recently spotted that may be of interest to someone else:
Christianity: Christianity Today reports that the Gideons are changing their emphasis from Bible distribution to evangelism.
Christianity Today also reports that Q, a supposedly Christian organization, is promoting non-standard "cures" for COVID-19.
Relevant discusses a survey on how long pastors, and listeners, think a sermon has lasted.
Christianity Today reprints advice from Martin Luther on fleeing from a disaster, such as an epidemic.
Ravi Zacharias, India-born world-wide Christian apologist, passed away, from cancer, on May 19, 2020.
Education: As of two years ago, the salaries of college graduates, by specialty. Philosophy and Art History weren't so bad.
Environment: Gizmodo reports that the Arctic is experiencing record heat (for the Arctic) which is bad news for the world.
Humor: Under recent circumstances, it's been tempting to do some projects at home. NPR reports on three of them that didn't go quite as expected.
Politics: FactCheck examines President Trump's claim that the US and Germany have the lowest COVID-19 deaths per 100,000 people of any nation in the world, and finds it to be seriously false.
Science: Jupiter's moon, Europa, emits plumes of water from time to time. It, and its sister satellite, Enceladus, may be able to support life as we know it. Report in Gizmodo.
Gizmodo also has posted really old film footage of a Tasmanian Tiger.
The graphic used in these posts is from NASA, hence, it is free to use like this.
Thanks for looking!
